College Baseball: Lynchburg tops Guilford 9-2..

LYNCHBURG, Va. – Matt Morgan threw seven solid innings and Michael Del Buono
had three RBI in Lynchburg College’s 9-2 win over visiting Guilford College
in both teams’ Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) baseball opener.

Del Buono had an RBI in the Hornets’ (4-5, 1-0 ODAC) three-run first when
Lynchburg took advantage of three walks and a Guilford error. The Quakers
(3-8, 0-1 ODAC) answered in the second inning on Jay Cox’s two-out, two-run
single, but that was all of the offense Guilford generated against Morgan
and two relievers. Morgan, a senior, scattered five hits and fanned five for
his second win of 2011.

The second of three Guilford errors contributed to Lynchburg’s three-run
fourth inning. Del Buono followed Michael Kenah’s double with a two-run
single in the Hornets’ three-run fifth. Kenah and Del Buono were two of four
Hornets with two hits on the day. Mike Walters had a two-run single in the
fourth and scored twice.

Guilford’s Jordan Slate had two hits for the Quakers. Starter Zach Daw (1-1)
pitched into the fifth and took the loss on the mound. David Thomson gave up
two runs in four innings of relief.
